Fusion Academy San Mateo-Foster City

Fusion Academy San Mateo-Foster City describes its approach as highly personalized, centering each student in a 1-to-1 learning model where one teacher works with one student at the student’s pace. The school emphasizes individualized support for students with learning, social, or emotional differences, while also offering small-group options and self-directed learning to build independence. It presents this model as a way to maximize academic potential without sacrificing social connection through clubs, activities, and its Homework Café.

Families start by requesting information or calling the San Mateo-Foster City campus, or by submitting Fusion’s online middle-school or high-school application form; after that, an admissions team member contacts the family, can schedule a tour, and—if Fusion seems like a fit—the family meets with the Head of School to discuss the student’s needs and goals. (fusionacademy.com) If both sides agree Fusion is a good fit, the school provides customized social, emotional, and academic recommendations, begins registration, and the Director of Student Services builds the student’s schedule and determines the start date. (fusionacademy.com) Fusion does not appear to use a traditional fixed admissions calendar: its materials describe rolling/open enrollment, say students can start at any time of year (even mid-semester), and the posted 2025-2026 campus calendar lists August 18, 2025 as the first day of school rather than as a hard application deadline. (fusionacademy.com) Published requirements are limited; the campus page says the school serves grades 4-12, while the online application forms shown are for grades 6-8 and 9-12, so the clearest admissions requirement publicly posted is a mutual-fit review plus schedule/program planning rather than a published test-score or document checklist. (fusionacademy.com) I did not find any published waitlist policy or priority categories for this campus on the campus, admissions, team, transfer, or application pages I reviewed; the closest stated constraint is that schedules are subject to teacher availability.
